For Students from Karnataka and Beyond
Choosing the right dental college is one of the most important decisions of your professional life. BGS GIDS offers a combination of institutional credibility, modern infrastructure, expert faculty, rich clinical training and an extraordinary campus life that is difficult to find anywhere else in Karnataka. Here is why students from across the state — and from other states too — are choosing BGS GIDS:
A Trust You Can Rely On
The Sri Adichunchanagiri Shikshana Trust has been running educational institutions for over 50 years. This is not a new venture — it is the natural expansion of a legacy. Students and parents can trust that the institution is stable, well-managed and genuinely committed to quality.
RGUHS Affiliation & DCI Recognition
BGS GIDS is affiliated to the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Karnataka — the apex university for health sciences education in the state. The college is recognised by the Dental Council of India (DCI), the national regulatory body for dental education. These affiliations ensure that the BDS degree from BGS GIDS is valid, recognised and respected across India.
Unmatched Clinical Exposure
Dental education is fundamentally a clinical discipline — you learn by doing. BGS GIDS students begin clinical training under structured supervision and have access to the dental clinics at BGS GIDS as well as the larger healthcare ecosystem of the BGS campus, including the 450-bed Gleneagles BGS Hospital. This breadth of clinical exposure is a significant advantage when entering professional practice.
Modern Teaching Infrastructure
Our clinical labs, simulation labs, departmental clinics, digital radiography units and seminar rooms are equipped to meet current academic and clinical standards. Students learn with the tools they will actually use in professional practice.
Shared Library at BGS GIMS
BGS GIDS students have access to the BGS GIMS Central Library — a sprawling 3,200 sq. mt. library with over 15,000 medical and dental books, 145 periodical subscriptions, and membership in the HELINET Consortium of RGUHS, which provides access to thousands of e-journals, e-books and dissertations.
Life on a World-Class Campus
The 100+ acre BGS Health & Education City is not just a place to study — it is a place to grow. With a cricket stadium, swimming pool, horse riding facility, multipurpose gym, indoor badminton courts, basketball courts, volleyball and throwball courts, an open-air theatre and a 1,500-seat auditorium, there is always something to do beyond the classroom.
Safe, Inclusive and Supportive Environment
BGS GIDS maintains a zero-tolerance policy on ragging. Separate, well-maintained hostels for boys and girls with nutritious dining facilities, 24/7 security, a student counselling cell and an anti-ragging committee ensure that every student — especially those coming from outside Bengaluru — feels safe, supported and at home.
Well-Connected Location in Bengaluru
Kengeri is well connected to all parts of Bengaluru via the Outer Ring Road, NICE Road and the Bengaluru Metro. The campus is approximately 15 km from Bengaluru City Railway Station, 7 km from Kengeri Railway Station, and 50 km from Kempegowda International Airport — making it accessible from all directions.
For Students from Other States
BGS GIDS welcomes students from across India. NRI and management quota seats are available. The campus hostels, diverse cafeteria menu and multi-cultural student community make it easy for students from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Kerala, Rajasthan and other states to adapt and thrive.
Affordable World-Class Education
The BGS Trust's founding principle is that quality education should be accessible to all. BGS GIDS offers competitive fee structures, and the Trust provides scholarships and financial assistance to deserving students.
